Yuck .... Well yes, I could technically make a hatch above them, but that is exactly where the bed is going to be. Possible of course, but I MAY be able to make the battery tray extendable.

My battery tray measures : OK, I did the measurement today, and I have a total of 23" deep x 25.5" wide. This is my factory underneath battery compartment. And this means I will NOT have the room for both, the House batteries and the Starting batteries in the factory battery compartment. I...

Ah hah ! That "exhaust pipe" is a factory installed heater pipe run. It carries the to and return, hot water hoses from the engine to the heaters in the front of the bus.

NEWSFLASH !! I now know the 6 Golf Cart batteries will definitely fit under the bus, in the sliding compartment. But I do not think the Group 24s will also fit under there ... I will have to find out tomorrow.

Hi SternWake .... yes I am that good with my hands LOL. Yes on the sliding drawer ... easily. My factroy battery tray is HUGE ! There are two 8D batteries in there right now. See ? And if you look at the below photo, you will see our bus with the battery compartment shown in red. The...

Thanks John ... This will be very easy for me to do actually. Other than that, you see any issues with placing the starting batteries under the bed ? Ok ... my brain is fried completely from days of cutting with a hand Mitre Saw and box ... staining, sanding, painting, drilling, etc ... If I...

Generator ? Oh man don't remind me. If I only had the $1000 at this time LOL. I just thought of something spooky ... Where in the world am I going to put all of these batteries, generator, and charger .... while keeping all of the leads as short as possible ? Having a 32 foot bus, instead of...

Hello again ! I have been working on the bus like mad, and haven't had a lot of time to update ... But update ! Ha ha ! I plan to have most of the basic interior work done in the next two weeks. The finsihed photos should prove interesting LOL. Then we will be moving on to painting the...

Wow again ! LOL This all comes down to just ONE thing then. Simply answer this one question if you will ... For a starting battery, should I go sealed or regular battery ? I will make my choice from this information. I will try and call Wind and Sun, or some distributor, and see what they...

Ok , yep ... I am confused again. I thought it was YOU who had told me to get the Marine batteries LOL. Two of them total 1600 CCA .... So I am lost as to which starting battery will provide me with THAT many CCAs . while not costing over the $180 price of two of the Marine batteries ? And you...

Ok SternWake and Zil ... your last two posts makes me feel MUCH better now. The deep and well written info you wrote should be stickied Stern ... and the way you broke it down in an easier to understand Newbie format is so very appreciated as well ! whew ! You say "Just get the biggest...

OMG at what I do not know, which I need to know. I thank you so much for the roadmap. But seeing just how difficult this is going to be, I am going to go cry a moment ....

Yuck ... where to even start. please allow me to apologize completely SternWake. You are NOT responsible for my success or failure AT ALL. I never meant to infer that YOU were going to be responsible for my liability in any way either. I ONLY MEANT THAT I HAVE TO CHOOSE A PERCEIVED SINGLE BEST...

Aww hell SternWake .... You are WAY, WAY, WAY deep for my limited knowledge. And I am starting to worry now LOL. There are SO many people, with SO many different opinions. And I just do not have enough knowledge to know who is right, and who is wrong. Or which option is the better way. So I...

Wow .... I think I will need to re-read this in the morning LOL. But I can tell you this much ... I WILL be buying 4 GC batteries at first, then add two more when I can. As far as the charger, I plan on using the Iota 45 or Iota 90 amp that YOU recommended a few months back. :D I love the idea...

Hi Sternwake .... This is awesome information and advice ! I really appreciate it. I am going to do exactly as you say, with a couple of exceptions. I think I will go ahead and buy an 8D for starting purposes, as it is not very much more money and will get me 1400 CCA instead. I would love to...

Ha ha ! Yes indeed Patrick. Progress is finally under way, and that makes me happy as well. I spent a few hours today painting the cockpit of the bus, where I can lay the entry carpet on the stairs tomorrrow. So without further delay, here are the photos from today...

Sorry Bindi .... but there is just NO way I can afford two different battery banks at this time. Maybe a year from now, but they have to do double duty for now. This is all I can do financially. I wil see what I can find out from a CAT forum. Ok ... now this truly IS interesting ! I just spent...

Do I ever agree with that ! I am installing indoor/outdoor carpet in the entrance. ALL shoes will be removed inside on this carpet ... EVERY time. This simple step keeps the wood floors looking new. I just finished the wood flooring, minus the trim, and will be installing the entrance carpet...
